Andrew dealt major blow as bombshell Epstein emails claim Virginia Giuffre photo is real

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has plunged into further humiliation after newly released documents by the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein appeared to confirm that the infamous photo of him with his abuse accuser, Virginia Giuffre, was real. Thousands of documents from Epstein's estate were published by the US House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, including the exchange from March 2011, months after the former prince alleged he broke off all contact with the sex offender.

Ms Giuffre alleged she was forced to have sex with him three times - once at Maxwell's home in London, once at Epstein's address in Manhattan, and once on the disgraced financier's private island, Little St James. Andrew has strenuously denied all allegations against him and has claimed he has no recollection of ever meeting Ms Giuffre.

After Andrew asked Epstein how he planned to respond to a press inquiry, Epstein reportedly responded: "Im (sic) not sure how to respond, the only person she didn't have sex with was Elvis." The former duke also appeared to take the issue up with Maxwell in a separate chain, saying: "Hey there! What's all this? I don't know anything about this! You must SAY so please. This has NOTHING to do with me.

"I can't take any more of this."

An email chain appeared to show Epstein confirming that a photograph of the former prince with his arms around 17-year-old Virginia Giuffre was real, adding that several of his staff had their picture taken with Andrew.

Epstein appeared to have said in an email: "Yes she [Virginia Giuffre] was on my plane, and yes she had her picture taken with Andrew, as many of my employees have."

The documents show Maxwell was forwarded a press inquiry from the Mail On Sunday on March 4 2011, by somebody named Mark Cohen, who told her: "FYI, following up on my email of this morning.

"Again, I have no intention of responding unless you direct otherwise."

After the email was forwarded from Maxwell to Epstein, and then from Epstein to somebody listed as "The Duke" on the same day, Andrew appears to respond: "What? I don't know any of this. How are you responding?"

Epstein responds: "Just got it two minutes ago. I've asked g (sic) lawyers to send a letter. Not sure... it's so salcisous (sic) and ridiculous, im (sic) not sure how to respond, the only person she didn't have sex with was Elvis."

Andrew then appears to reply to Epstein, saying: "Please make sure that every statement or legal letter states clearly that I am NOT involved and that I knew and know NOTHING about any of these allegations. I can't take any more of this my end."

Epstein appeared to follow up with the former duke two days later, saying: "You OK?

"These stories are complete and utter fantasy. I don't know and have never met Al Gore. Clinton was never on the island ... the telephone book is not mine, it was stolen by my houseman that is currently in prison for doing so."

Epstein also appeared keen to ask a journalist to investigate "Andrew's accuser" because Buckingham Palace would "love it".

In his alleged email in July 2011, Epstein can be seen talking about "Andrew's accuser" and asking someone to "send a reporter or reporters to investigate".

The email reads: "Send a reporter or reporters to investigate... the palace would love it, the girl in the photo, was nothing more than a telephone answerer, she was never 15, according to her version she worked for trump (sic), first at that age, at Mar-a-Lago. It's ridiculous."

In a further email, Epstein allegedly adds: "The girl who accused Prince Andrew can also easily be proven to be a liar.

"I think Buckingham Palace would love it. You should task someone to investigate the girl Virginia Roberts, that has caused the Queen's son all this agro (sic). I promise you she is a fraud. You and I will be able to go to ascot (sic) for the rest of our lives."

In an exchange with a different journalist in 2011, Epstein appeared to discuss Giuffre and her photograph with Andrew.

He said: "Maybe your paper should jump on and show that (redacted)'s allegations re andrew (sic) are the same, she also accused numerous people of having sex with her, dersh, ehud, etc. Not one paper had the balls to question her credibility."

After the journalist confirmed they would be interested in the story, a further email from Epstein on the same day read: "The girl has fled the country with an outstanding arrest warrant. The da (sic) after she accused others, said in writing that she has no credibility, she was never 15 years old working for me, her story made it seem like she first worked for trump (sic) at that age and was met by ghislaine maxwell (sic).

"Total horses**t, the daily mail (sic) paid her money, they admitted it, with the statement that it took money to coax out the truth.

"Yes she was on my plane, and yes she had her picture taken with Andrew, as many of my employees have.

"I have never misled you, this girl is a total liar, they (sic) authorities should check her australian (sic) immigration form, you could talk to dershowitz (sic). I will ask if they will cooperate - Prince people."

Andrew's links to Epstein eventually led to the King dramatically stripping him of his titles - putting an end to his public life.

The move followed the publication of Ms Giuffre's posthumous memoirs, and the US government's release of documents from the paedophile's estate.

Ms Giuffre alleged she was forced to have sex with Andrew at Maxwell's home in London, once at Epstein's address in Manhattan, and once on Little St James.

The incident at Maxwell's home, where the now infamous photo of the former duke with his accuser is reported to have been taken, allegedly occurred when Ms Giuffre was 17 years old.

The former prince vehemently denies all allegations made against him.

Epstein took his own life in a New York prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges.

Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 after being convicted of sex trafficking.
